Nursery
Today was getting our hands dirty. My critters and the birds around the garden love my plants. It has been a struggle to grow plants from seeds, especially sunflowers and beans.

Back to the movie theater!
After two years, I went to the movie theater. Theaters opened a long time back, but I lost touch during pandemic. It was easy to binge watch on Netflix or amazon and not drive to the theater at a particular time. One of the show I did binge watch during the peak of pandemic was…

Frowzy
We have done a lot of 5km walks. We may look frowzy by the finish line but it is all worth it. This particular 5 km was around Kennywood Park and we got a discounted entrance during Christmas time. Even after a 5k walk we had all the energy to go around the park and…

Glasses
It is a truth I need to accept. I need my reading glasses all the time. I needed a comforter and while shopping I couldn’t read if it was queen or king size, leave alone the tiny prints the manufacturer doesn’t want me to read. The past few years I have started watching Television more…

A swing in his preschool class room calmed…

Picnics
Monday was a hot day for us. I heard on news that it is good to be out in the sun since it helps to improve our serotonin level. If that were the case that no one should be depressed in the tropics. I deal with my son’s anxiety and I have learnt about dopamine…
